Clifton Hill Residence.

This charming four bedroom, two bathroom Victorian home underwent an extensive rebuild. Maintaining the period facade, the house was then completely rebuilt from the front room to the rear garden.

The clients, a young family of four, required a large casual open plan living area that spilled out to their lovely, sunny rear garden. The outcome is a very natural, unpretentious way to live - reflecting the young family that inhabits it. Simple joinery details and natural finishes were selected to create a relaxed vibe whilst moodier tones were introduced in the master en-suite to create the feeling of escape.
